points of 1.90 in contrast with the
previous requirement of 64 semes-

Campus Views on News

By Mackey W. HiU

Less than two weeks ago we were all shocked by the > news of the
resident's heart attack. The world has waited hopefully and in some
.ses prayerfully for signs of his recovery. Sometimes when the
ought that he might not return forces itself into our mind we have
It like treating it as a morbid temptation. It seems too bad that just

the time when Eisenhower has earned a period of easy going this
ould come. But some newsmen are pointing out some good things

consider about it, assuming that this had to come, it is just as well
at it came now rather at an earlier time before the President had
lined full leadership of his party or during the Formosoan or the
>uth East Asian crisis.

But after we have done our best at consoling ourselves of some
ipects of it, the facts remain that it will perhaps deprive America of
e Eisenhower leadership. It is quite likely that Eisenhower is posi-
trely out so far as 1956 is concerned. This immediately raises the issue
ithin the GOP who is the most promising successor to the Eisenhower
Eldership.

So far as the President is concerned if his condition warrants, he
ill return from Denver, Colorado (where he was stricken! to his home
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. This will be the center of his administra-
jn until he realizes a more complete recovery. Vice-President Nixon
id the Cabinet are trying to carry on in the crisis as well as they can.

France angrily walked out of the UN Assembly. She refused to
main a member of that body when it persisted in its purpose to de-
ite the French-Algeria problems of North Africa. France insists that
doing this the Assembly is really interfering with an internal French
•oblem that is, a legitimate domestic problem. France retains her
embership on the UN Security Council. It constitutes a serious prob-
m for the relatively new French Government and it is questionable

Sophomores and seniors will see
a raise in their required number
of semester hours in 1956. Sopho-
mores will have to have completed
30 semester hours instead of the
28 which have been required for
many years. Members of the sen-
ior class will see an increase to
94 required semester credits in
place of the 90 hours previously
required, and must maintain a
grade point of 1.90.

According to President Milo
Ross this change will not affect
the graduation requirement of the
college, but will, instead, tend to
even the steps class-wise toward
graduation so as to more evenly
distribute the student's load of
hours throughout the four years.

President Ross went on to add
that the reason the junior stand-
ing was made effective immediate-
ly was to give the students all the
possible benefits of the change.
For the same reason, the other
changes involving increases were
held until next fall so that students
now enrolled could plan toward
them being warned of the rises in
advance.

Night school for this, semester
at George Fox college is well un-
derway according to Dr. Roberts
who is in charge of this part of
the college program. Two classes
are being presented this year:
Audio-Visual Aids in Teaching by
Kenneth Williams and New Tech-
niques in Sewing by Helen Will-
cuts.

Ten students are enrolled in the
Audio-Visual course. This course
is very popular with teachers, as
it is a required subject for cer-
tification to teach in Oregon.

The new Bishop method of sew-
ing is being studied by Miss Will-
cuts' class. This method is design-
ed to make sewing faster and
more simple.

Disappointment over not being
able to present an orchestra course
was expressed by the night school
Committee. Don Schroeder, di-
rector, felt that an orchestra
could not be composed of less than
twenty players. As there were
only ten registering for this course,
Mr. Schroedcr's second attempt at
organizing a Newberg Commun-
ity orchestra had to be postponed
until some time in the future. It

was the feeling of the faculty
that the college students showed
sufficient interest in the orches-
tra, but there was not a large
enough number of townspeople to
make up the balance.

'Advance' Drive Moves Ahead

Under the leadership of Denver
Hedrick the GFC Advance is mov-
ing forward with a grand total of
cash and pledges up to October 1,
of $8,399.62.

Several more Century club
members have been added to th°
list, boosting that total to 54
members. Several have paid more
than the base $100, making the
club's cash total larger than the
intimated amount.

Members of the Century club are
now being given cards for their

ship and admitting them to the
inter-collegiate athletic events on
the campus for the 1955-56 school
year.

Mr. Hedrick is finding response
to re-establishing delinquent
pledges. At Yearly Meeting a
special suggestion was made about
note cancellation.

President Milo Ross announces
that $1,200 cash has come in to ap-
ply on future student tuitions and
Scotts Mills Meeting recently turn-
ed in $110 for a loan fund to be
used to help its own students in

SCU Revival Week
Backed by Prayer

Faculty and students of GFC
have held prayer meetings pre-
ceding and during Christian Em-
phasis week which concludes with
the 7:30 p. m. meeting tonight in
the auditorium of Wood-Mar hall.

Dr. Warren Martin, from Pas-
adena college, Pasadena, Califor-
nia, has been the speaker during
chapel hours and in the evening
services.

Men's prayer meetings have been
held throughout the week in the
dormitory and other living quart-
ers. Morning and evening prayer
meetings have been conducted by
the women each day during the
week.

The Student Ministerial associa-
tion and the Foreign Missions
Fellowship have sponsored a
Thursday morning prayer meet-
ing in the prayer room at 6:15 a.
m. for the past two weeks.

Special emphasis on prayer be-
fore the beginning of class per-
iods has prevailed this week.

Students desiring private coun-
cil with Dr. Martin have been able
to have sessions with the evange-
list.

Christian Emphasis week is un-
der the direction of the Student
Christian Union and conducted by
the students. Fred Newkirk has

Clique-Claque

For many years George Fox college has been the
school with a reputation for friendliness and -smiles.
Students from other colleges have remarked ^bout our
atmosphere of harmony and Newberg's businessmen
have been glad to recognize familiar colleges faces who
greet them with smiles along the street.

Smiles can mean many things. A person can -smile
as he "knifes" a cutting remark into his associates, he
can spile as he makes a sarcastic, wounding state-
ment, or he can smile as sweetly at an opponent of
whom he is jealous as at his best friend.

Just where is all this chatter getting us? No-
where, except to this point — At George Fox college
the smiles and friendliness have been genuine and oth-
ers, not associated with us have sensed ihis spirit of
brotherly love, until it has grown into an unspoken
tradition.

•Surely no -finer custom could be nourished and
kept alive than this one. let's make the weather fore-
cast for tomorrow, and future tomorrows — a day of
smiles with 100 per cent increase of "hellos" sprinkled
with continuous showers of friendliness and goodwill.

—Joyce

From the Editor's Desk

Religious emphasis week draws to a close today
as far as actual special meetings are concerned jbut the
experience gained this week by students on the $F
campus will not die out. Dr. Warren Mter&Hj guest
speaker, has presented stfraight-f^n^rdJ principles
that are reguired for the successful Oms$an youth
today as he takes his place in the world.

Only neglect of daily contact with Cod will ca&se
these decisions for Christ to g,p by the wayside .and
seem insignificant.

Now that we have receiyed the Light, tetf s w*&
in it that others may see and believe.

. . j» .. ". .» ' ,*

Bob Byrd's feature on tJhis ^ame page brings to
mind a very interesting question. WJiy aren'jt there
some clubs or an honorary (especially designed for
•GFC scholars? Perhaps the new student assistant
positions are a step in ithe right direction. Scholastic
achievement should have just as much or even more
importance at college than anywhere else.

* * * *

Automobiles can serve as a convenience or as a nui-
sance. Itis all in the way they're used. Recently Dean
Williams and others in responsible positions have
admonished college drivers to take need to the traffic
laws of the campus and the community.

This should "have solved the problem at least to
a large extent — but excessive speed and unnecessary
noise complaints have continued to come from campus
and community residents. The problem is now in the
hands of the Student Council and unless care is taken
within the next few days the council will step in and
enforce regulations.

is it necessary for mature college students to have
rules set down and have someone on guard constantly
to see that they are not violated?

e * * *

After the game last Saturday many students went
away feeling empty because it seemed we should have
had some kind of a hymn-type alma mater to sing in
appreciation for the fine game our boys gave us
against Linfield.

Wfy Picf You Come to George fox College?

-Perhaps you've been -asked why
you came to George Fox college
so often you're ready to choke the
next person who asks. But here it
is again . . . why did you come to
George Fox college?

Looking back upon by own col-
lege career I wonder just how far
I've pursued my purpose in com-
ing to school. I came so that I
might prepare myself to teach
others and to develop my life and
my personality in the best possible
Christian environment.

A college student's first respon-
sibility should be to his studies.
School should never become just a
continuous summer camp made up
of sports, .music, drama and other
extra interests. When one becomes
so involved with these activities
that his studies continually suffer,
then that person is not keeping
first things first.

Everyone likes a hero. Maybe
music is your special interest in
your leisure moments. Because of
your love for this very fine art,
you no doubt have certain per-
formers you admire greatly. It is
right that you should.

What about the sports minded?
We can't all participate actively,
but most of us enjoy watching oth-
ers. It is perfectly normal to ad-
mire those gifted athletes.

Most of us will accept the idea
that the foremost purpose of a
college is to educate. If that is
true, then our scholastic record
should be of the utmost import-
ance to us all. Why, then, is not the
.honored student placed on the

BOB BYRD

same level with our athletic heroes,
musicians, student actors and
speakers ?

It is the opinion of this writer
that scholasticism has not played
the leading role on the George Fox
college campus in the last few
years. However, there is a general
tendency among .faculty and stu-
dents to place a greater import-

ance on our intellectual achieve-
ments.

This is not a plea to return to
reading, writing and arithmetic.
The importance of our social life,
athletics, music, etc., is under-
stood. It is, however, a plea to
consider things in their proper
place for our lives.

God gave us our minds for a
purpose. If we abuse this purpose
then we have to face God with
our failure. There is so much to
gain in this world through an ac-
tive pursuit of knowledge ... it
is inexhaustible. Just as it is sad
to see someone who knows so
much from books, but is unable to
adjust socially, it is sad to see
someqne well developed in the so-
cial graces with no depth or abil-
ity to converse intelligently with
his neighbors. True happiness
comes with the ability to combine
these two aspects of our life.

Let us develop the kind of at-
mosphere on the George Fox cam-
pus where the social and the schol-
astic can dwell together peace-
ably. «

Let words like bookworms and
musclebrain disappear from our
vocabulary . . . and with this the
musicians, actors, athletes and
just plain good students can all
stand together on equal footing.

Bishop Wins Trip to Washington, 0. C;
To Be Guest of Oregon Congressmen

"My experience as a member of
the 4-p club has helped me to pre-
pare myself for a life<pf senyice to
my future family and to gain poise
and confidence as I meet every
day situations and new people."
This is the statement of Janice
Bishop, who recently won a trip
to Washington D. C. to attend the
National .4-H Club Camp.

Janice, a freshman who comes
to us from Salem, Oregon, is an
eduoation major.
She graduated
■from the new
South Salem
high school
where she serv-
ed on the Inter- '
iim ^Committee
dealing with the
forming the stu-
dent govern-
ment for the new school.

4-H work comes as part of Bis-
hop family life. Mr. James F.
Bishop now serves as a 4-H county
agent-at-large.

Ten years of active club work
has proven valuable to Janice.
During this time she has won
eleven champion titles in projects
ranging from livestock to cooking
and sewing. While in Washington,
D. C, Janice a.nd the three other
delegates from Oregon will be the
guests of the Oregon Congressmen.

Janice was able to attend the
4-H summer camp held this past

summer at Corvallis; 2,000 young
club members were at this ses-
sion. She was a member of the
champion rabbit judging team at
the 1955 Oregon State fair and
won a scholarship to the camp.

The Pacific International Live-
stock Exposition held in Portland
this October 15, will find Janice
as a member of a team judging
special home economic activities,
such as canning, sewing, etc.

Many and varied activities have
played a great part in Janice's
'life. She has been active in the
music, Sunday school, and C. E.
departments of the South Salem
Friends church. While in high
•school, Janice served as editor of
the school paper, the Clypian, was
FTA president and a member of
the National Honor Society.

Personal interviews by judges
at state fair and an outstanding
record of leader and achievement
in club work and the community
opened the gates for Janice Bis-
hop to observe government in ac-
tion at the nation's capitol.

She will join other four-member
delegations from all states, Ha-
waii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico in
a one-week meeting with state
and national officials and tours
of national shrines next June. The
all-expense event in educational
and inspirational citizenship is
sponsored by Sears-Roebuck Foun-
dation.

Frosh Initiation Starts
By Wearing of Green

No! It's not St. Patrick's day.
There are not fifty-seven students
of Irish ancestry on campus.

Kittens Conk Quakers; Take 13-7 Contest

The Linfield Wildkittens dented
paydirt early in the contest and
hung on grimly to chalk up a 13-7
decision over the home standing
George Fox college Quakers Sat-
urday.

The Quaker forward wall put
the clamps on the Kitten running
game, holding them to a net gain
of 21 yards against 62 yards
racked up by the Quakers. The

Quakers were outgunned through
the air, gaining 89 yards to Lin-
field's 112 yards. In total yardage
the Foxians came out on top 151
to 133 yards.

A fumble at a crucial moment
and an intercepted pass quenched
two scoring threats put together
by the Quakers.

Linfield scored first on a screen
pass with an exhibition of very

Every year during football season, basketball too, as a matter of
fact, various sports writers, polls, and so-called "authorities" rate the
college teams of the nation. They pick out the top teams and try to
evaluate by comparative scores, strength of opposition, and many other
factors. Some just tell which team is the best, while others also try
to show the difference between the teams and therefore consider them-
selves able to predict outcome- of future games. Only one problem
arises when the answer of the question "Which team is the best?" is
finally reached. More often than not the various ratings disagree.

The other day I wondered if there was any way to really
tell which team was the best. No one person can see every
game and thus arrive at an answer, so to get a good answer
you will have to rely on someone else's word. Now these polls
go on that basis, usually, but still they do not arrive at the
same conclusion. In the long run no one really knows, but
the best answer will have to bp the general consensus of the
various polls, even if that consensus doesn't agree exactly with
any of the polls. I have therefore tried to sort of average out
the polls, using their methods of scoring. The answers that
come are by no means definite, permanent, exactly in agree-
ment, or even my own opinion, but they do show the general
opinion of sports writers and of the fans. The ratings for this
last week are as follows:

1. Michigan 58

2. Maryland 55

3. Notre Dame 51

4. Oklahoma 48

5. Georgia Tech 48

6. Army 44

7. Texas Christian 44

8. UCLA 43

9. Wisconsin 39

10. Southern California 37

11. Navy 21

12. West Virginia .20

14. Auburn ... 15

15. Miami (Fla.) '. 12

16. Texas A & M 7

18. Oregon State 5

20. Purdue 4

Other teams receiving votes were: Washington, LSU, Stanford,
and Kentucky.

Coach Ralph Beebe has brought some interesting innovations to
the George Fox football picture this year, especially concerning prac-
tice schedules. One thing that has been stressed this year has been
races between the players, the purpose being not only competition,
but also encouraging the players to be in better condition. The races
have decided one thing for sure, who is the fastest player on the
squad. To most everyone's surprise it turned out to be a lineman,
guard Jim Houston repeatedly winning the races. Other players that
have consistently shown good speed are Phil Kooistra ,Curt Cogswell,
and Bill Hopper.

Nothing is more impressive on an outsider's opinion of a
school than the school spirit, or lack of it, the students show
toward their team, especially if the team is having difficulty
in winning its games. Someone at Newberg high should be
congratulated for the fine job they did in organizing a student
body pep parade through the streets of Newberg last Friday.
It looked like almost the whole school was cheering their team
as they marched in serpentine fashion down First street. The
band and the chanting students were very effective in showing
those looking on that Newberg is behind the Tigers, whether
they win or lose. Let's hope this spirit doesn't die. The greater
the spirit, the more desire the players have, and soon Newberg
might have a winning team.

fine downfield blocking and a very
fast scatback. The play covered
83 yards. The kick for point was
blocked by a hard charging Ralph
Cammack who, incidently turned
in a sterling performance as the
anchor of the Bruin forwards.

As play resumed following the
first quarter break, the "little
cats" were knocking at the gate
again and had the ball on the
Quaker 12-yard marker. It took
one play, a pass, to cover the
needed distance and this time they
converted to lead 13-0.

The Blue and Gold took the kick-
off and came roaring back to cov-
er 69 yards in 13 plays and score
six points. Bill Hopper covered
the final three yards on a quar-
terback keep. Valech toed the ex-
tra point and the Quakers trailed
by only six points. The six points
proved too much a margain for the
game young men of Fox.

Although the entire second half
was played in Linfield territory,
the Quakers were unable to reach
that final stripe which could have
spelled victory.

A bad punt gave the Quakers
the ball on the 16-yard line, but
the men of George Fox were
squelched and another great scor-
ing opportunity flitted away.

George Fox racked up a total of
eight first downs and Linfield
collected four.

The statistics of the fracas go
to prove the old football adage
"The pay-off is in points, not
yardage!"

WAA Convenes;

Quaker Boss Cools
Schedule Makers

Six games, six nome games!
That is the enviable situation the
George Fox college Quakers find
themselves in this autumn season.
Probably no other college has such
a schedule. At least it is very
unusual.

How Coach Ralph Beebe pulled
this bit of fanagling will probably
live and die with said Mr. Beebe.
At any rate, the student body of
George Fox should be grateful.
They have a chance to see a lot of
football this fall.

Another note: All the games
this year come on either Friday or
Saturday. This too, is a feather in
the wily coach's cap.

will move Mel Lamm to end to fill
his brother's shoes and Steve Ross
has been switched to fullback to
take up the slack there.

Beebe stated that he was not
overly optimistic, but thought that
with a couple of breaks the Quak-
ers could come up with a win. He
cited that this club only beat Lin-
field by one point. Linfield topped
the Quaker forces 13-7.

The Quakers will once again
resort to the airways a great deal
and could turn a sputtering of-
fense into a good oiled machine.

Coach Beebe has been drilling
the boys hard on offensive maneu-
vers. Also the Quaker warriors
have been doing a "little" running
to improve their wind, which
was very conspicuous by its ab-
sence in the Linfield tilt.
